6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic microgrid system development]

What is a PV-based microgrid?

The name implies the principle component in a PV-based microgrid is the solar PV system. However, the generated output power of a PV system is dependent on the weather condition, that is, solar irradiance and temperature; and the intermittency in the solar irradiance causes fluctuations in the generated output power of the solar PV system.

How can a microgrid improve the reliability of solar PV?

In order to overcome the problems associated with the intermittency of solar PV and enhance the reliability, energy storage systems like batteries and/or backup systems like diesel generators are commonly included in the microgrids [11, 12].

What is a residential microgrid?

One appealing residential microgrid application combines market-available grid-connected rooftop PV systems, electrical vehicle (EV) slow/medium chargers, and home or neighborhood energy storage system (ESS). During the day, the local ESS will be charged by the PV and during the night it will be discharged to the EV.

Does solar PV affect power factor in microgrids?

PV systems can affect the power factor (PF) in an electrical system and microgrids can have unique power factor needs. The solar PV project should be analyzed for PF impact and benefit from a technical and economic perspective in grid-connected and islanded modes.

What is a solar microgrid?

Microgrids that include solar photovoltaics (PV) as a generating source have the ability to not only provide power when the grid is down, they can also reduce energy costs when the grid is available. For solar project designers future microgrid considerations are becoming increasingly important.

Do PV based microgrids have a negative environmental impact?

Moreover, battery energy systems are also reported to have negative environmental impacts, which is also required to be taken into consideration while sizing/designing a PV-based microgrid [48 - 50]. In Figure 3, the common design considerations for PV based microgrids have been summarised.
